Happy 2nd Birthday to our Miss Independent Toddler! To celebrate Esther turning 2 this year we travelled to Adelaide with Colin and Gail to attend Womad - a world music festival held over four days. Esther really got into the bands, dancing and clapping and having lots of fun (gathering a few admirers on the way). On her birthday we took the tram to Glenelg and had a small picnic by the beach, cakes and milkshake for birthday girl! Other highlights of the month were the Canberra show where Esther had her first pony ride, learning more and more words - and putting them together into short sentences, and riding her trike around and around and around the house!
